UNKNOWN REGIONS PODCAST: Episode 16 Star Thrones of the Original Trilogy (Part One of a Series!)

If there's anything Star Wars likes it's a THRONE ROOM! So in Part One of our new series we begin by examining these staples of sovereignty in the Original Trilogy. We take a look at development, production, in-universe lore, and we address important issues like how many thrones does one chancellor/emperor really need? Is a chair required to qualify as a "throne room"? On a scale of 1-10 how would we rate each throne room? How many times can I say the word "dais"? So pull up your own seat of power and settle in for the first part of our seemingly random but also inexplicably necessary deep dive series!
